Default Recover Word Password

So far the disgruntled employee is refusing to provide the passwords. The
script editor requires that you open the document.not good because we need a
password to open these documents. If I copy the document to another media
type will the password follow?

If the documents are password protected against opening, the simple
solution would be to ask the ex-employee for the password. If they are
protected for forms see http://www.gmayor.com/Remove_Password.htm

Word's encryption is highly effective and you will not easily get past it.

Dear Group,
We have a common problem...employee quit and has many work and excel
documents password protected. This client is using Office 2000 Prem
and the OS is Windows XP pro. Can anyone help with removing the
password(s) off these office files?
Thanks,
